AeroVironment (AVAV) stock jumps as Trump’s $1.5T defense budget call and drone-rule carve-outs hit markets

NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 15:17 EST — Regular session Shares of AeroVironment Inc (AVAV.O) rose 7.8% to $343.30 at 3:05 p.m. ET on Thursday, extending a sharp run in small defense names.

RBC Capital Markets analysts led by Ken Herbert said the prospect of a larger budget could

About 3.0 million shares had changed hands by 3:08 p.m. EST.

D-Wave Quantum stock drops after $550M Quantum Circuits deal; QBTS eyes Jan. 27 Qubits event

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 15:12 (EST) — Regular session D-Wave Quantum Inc shares were down 3.8% at $29.05 on Thursday, a day after the company unveiled a $550 million agreement to buy Quantum Circuits, a private developer of gate-model quantum hardware. The move matters because D-Wave is trying to prove it can turn quantum computing from demos into sales, and the acquisition is a costly way to speed that pitch. Gate-model systems are designed to run broader classes of quantum algorithms, while D-Wave’s annealing machines are built mainly to tackle optimization problems. SEC Investors are also fixated on the

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 14:58 EST — Regular session Uber Technologies, Inc (UBER.N) shares rose 1.9% to $87.85 in afternoon trading on Thursday, while partner Lucid Group (LCID.O) climbed about 4%. The move comes as investors re-price the long-running question around Uber’s future: will robotaxis become a cheaper supply of rides or a rival product that cuts into Uber’s slice of each fare. “Potential competition from autonomous vehicles has long been considered a key risk to Uber’s terminal value,” Jefferies analyst John Colantuoni wrote, pointing to renewed attention on Tesla and Alphabet’s Waymo.

New York, January 8, 2026, 15:04 EST — Regular session Western Digital Corp shares were down 7.6% at $184.75 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after swinging between $180.70 and $201.78 earlier in the session.

MYR Group stock sinks nearly 8% as infrastructure contractors slide ahead of U.S. jobs data

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 15:03 EST — Regular session MYR Group Inc shares were down 7.6% at $218 on Thursday afternoon, putting the electrical contractor among the sharper decliners in U.S. infrastructure-linked stocks. The stock opened higher and then slid, hitting an intraday low of $215.30. The selling came as major U.S. indexes eased and Treasury yields firmed, with investors reluctant to add risk before Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report. That report is a key input for rate-cut bets because it can shift views on growth and inflation. Reuters Fresh labor-market data did little to calm nerves. Initial jobless claims

Goldman Sachs stock slips as Apple Card handoff puts a Q4 earnings bump on the table

New York, January 8, 2026, 14:57 EST — Regular session Goldman Sachs shares were down 0.7% on Thursday after The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. said it struck an agreement to transition the Apple Card program and associated accounts to JPMorgan Chase’s Chase. Goldman said the move should lift its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings by about $0.46 a share, driven by a $2.48 billion release of loan-loss reserves — money set aside for expected credit losses — even as it takes a $2.26 billion hit to net revenue tied to markdowns and contract costs.

MasTec stock drops nearly 9% in Thursday trade as infrastructure contractors slide — what to watch next

New York, January 8, 2026, 14:55 ET — Regular session MasTec, Inc. (MTZ) shares fell about 8.9% to $214.86 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after opening near $236 and sliding to an intraday low of $213.98. The stock was last down $20.89 on the day. The move underscores how quickly sentiment can flip in U.S. infrastructure contractors, where investors have been leaning into multi-year work tied to power grids, pipelines and network upgrades. When the trade gets crowded, small shifts in risk appetite can turn into a big tape move. MasTec’s drop came alongside a broader selloff in the group.
